If O'meley is causing ructions then lets get rid now.

Tbh, I'd have let O'Meley go at the end of the season. He's been good in his first 2 years with us but has missed more games than he has played this year and I think we could find another player who would offer better value for money.
Also, if these rumours about his attitude are true then we would be better off without him disrupting the squad.

Think Omeley has got pukka pies as a personal sponsor to be honest
time to go mark, two good years thank you mate, albeit easily forgotten

Ogre's a big Agar fan

Never seen Ogre and Wolfie in the same room together too

I might have missed it, but has Standee updated us on who else is saying negative things about McRae yet?

I agree, but I'm sure he was regarded as the better of the two. isn't they a third brother?

No, still awaiting an update on that.

when you ask the same of everyone else who posts on rumours threads I'll consider it, but for now I'll operate to the same standard as everyone else, thanks.

To be fair, others are regularly asked for sources when the rumour is particularly controversial. None are usually willing to give them but they do get asked.

In this instance the sole source you've quoted is someone widely suspected to have an axe to grind and known to be bad-mouthing the club at every available opportunity, so folk are naturally sceptical. Add in your clear dislike of McRae and you can see why you're getting the response you are.

I've said it WASN'T Ogre, anyway, we'll see what happens, I know who told me and I trust them more than a bunch of anonymous usernames on a message board.

So why not post the names of the other people at the club criticising McRae instead of being obtuse?

Or, if you're not prepared to do that, why not keep your fooking mouth shut in the first place?

Fair enough.


Which is why you're being asked for the source. Otherwise you're just another anonymous username on a message board spreading a rumour.

because it's a discussion/message board, perhaps?

anyway, rumours.

indeed, and I have no problem with that, if I named the various people who tell me various things (some things turn out to be true, some otherwise) then I'd soon stop being told anything, and I'd rather that didn't happen, it's awlays interesting to speculate about what is going on at FC, it seems I am the only person getting abuse for it, which seems odd, but it says more about those attempting to abuse me than I ever could.

You're the one slagging off a popular member of the club's staff without backing it up. That says more about you than I ever could.

How on earth did you come up with that ?...I am very pleased with G.Ellis but not overly ecstatic with Arundel which is true, personally I would have sooner kept developing Turner, I do not think Arundel is bad at all, however nor do I think he is class act yet either, he still has a lot to prove. I would have liked a top class centre to replace Turner although I hope Arundel turns into one.

It's a discussion forum, not an unsubstantiated mud-slinging forum.

Would anyone be interested in taking Tom burgess off bradfords hands I think he'd be an ideal replacement for ogre

I would take Burgess, I agree he would be an ideal replacement.

Going over to Aus with his mother and expected to join Souths.

I understand why people don't name sources. I also understand why people get frustrated when sources aren't named. For that reason on the odd occasion when I get 'inside' information I tend to keep it to myself or discuss it with people I trust via PM. Otherwise it's a lose-lose situation.

I just found it strange that you said you're very pleased with the Ellis signing, but not overly impressed with our recruitment for next season overall. Given that we've only signed 2 players so far, logic said that you don't rate the other signing at all to bring the average down.

The other option is that you're not impressed because we haven't signed enough players, but given that we're only a week into June I assumed you wouldn't getting concerned about that just yet.

On the subject of Arundel, I personally think he has little more to prove than Turner, and the potential to be the better player. A good move for me.

Who wouldn't be pleased with the Ellis signing, your reading far too much into my post, as you will be aware I would sooner have kept Turner as I rate him, however I am not unhappy with Arundel and hope he proves to be a good signing, I know you will disagree but I still think Turner has the potential to be a future International, I know Arundel has made the knights but so has Welham so enough said there. I agree it is early days and like I posted plenty of time and hopefully the recruitment will be good but I think it will be a tough ask to replace the like of Moa (if we lose him), Orgre, and still get a decent f/back and h/back, on saying that I am more optimistic than I have been for several years.

Ditto. Jut en up digging yourself a hole otherwise.
